Great!
Thanks for this hint.
I used that now and finally got a netboot-install-cd built :-)

Yes, most likely I will not ask for inclusion into Jessie (although everything looks fine at the moment :-)).
We are happy with hppa being in debian-ports/unstable.
That said: Is it technically possible to just activate the generation of "installation-guide-hppa" (and maybe for other arches which won't be in Jessie?) when building for "unstable" ? I mean, as soon as a new installation-guide package moves to "stable", then to not build the "installation-guide-hppa" package? If yes, that would be a really
good solution for hppa...
Thanks again!
Helge
